<p>I am thinking that it might make sense for us to take git subtree and either build our own gits or if it's a shell script basically to pull it into a rust-lang repository and move forward. It seems like it should be possible to make a <code>cargo install git-subtree</code> that installs either a Rust wrapper around the shell script or something like that, and that would unblock a bunch of work around it</p>

<p>Does this seem like a horrible idea?</p>

<p>The script seems to be written to work with older git versions. For example it has a <code>if test "$version" \&lt; "git version 1.7"</code> conditional.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="124288">@oli</span> do you think you can either post to the issue tracking this or figure out who all to talk to so we can make this happen? I am happy to help on the "infra" side if you need repositories created or what not</p>
